That's because <a href="http://www.salvia.net/">salvia</a> is being targeted by lawmakers concerned that the inexpensive and easy-to-obtain plant could become the next marijuana....Among those who believe the commotion over the drug is overblown is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Doblin">Rick Doblin </a>of the <a href="http://www.maps.org/">Multidisciplinary Association</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multidisciplinary_Association_for_Psychedelic_Studies">for Psychedelic Studies</a>, a nonprofit group that does research on psychedelic drugs and whose goal is to develop psychedelics and marijuana into prescription medication."<a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23573004/">*</a> "Salvia Divinorum is a small leafy green plant found primarily in the Mazateca region of Mexico.

<a href="http://www.erowid.org/plants/salvia/salvia.shtml">Salvia Divinorum</a> is a plant which is <a href="http://www.erowid.org/plants/salvia/salvia_law.shtml">(currently) legal</a> to grow, own, or smoke in the U.S.
The effects of this plant, when smoked or eaten, take place over the course of only a few minutes, but supposedly are very similar to those of certain illegal chemicals, such as the late <a href="http://www.deoxy.org/mckenna.htm" _new>Terrence Mckenna</a>'s well-documented fave; <a href="http://dmt.lycaeum.org/" _new>DMT</a>. The user briefly finds themself to be in a world where the laws of physics, and logic have been subtly or grossly changed - an experience as jarring as the witnessing of the non-euclidean angles described by <a href="http://www.hplovecraft.com/" _new>Lovecraft</a>... and then the real world reasserts itself.

I'm sure I'm not the only person who is curious about this question - are the results of the ingestion of halluciniogens a self-fulfilling prophecy - the user 'seeing' something beyond the pale that they expected or wanted to see - or is there something more meaningful to the experience? tag:metafilter.com,2003:site.25147Tue, 15 Apr 2003 23:10:05 -0800GriffXNew Cautions Over a Plant With a Buzzhttp://www.metafilter.com/8954/New%2DCautions%2DOver%2Da%2DPlant%2DWith%2Da%2DBuzz
<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2001/07/09/nyregion/09SAGE.html">New Cautions Over a Plant With a Buzz</a> - NYT article about <i>Salvia Divinorum</i>, an apparently legal, unscheduled hallucinogenic plant which is getting increased attention from both drug users and DEA agents. Has anyone actually used this stuff- is it all hype or does it really work? And how long before the DEA works to make it illegal? tag:metafilter.com,2001:site.8954Thu, 12 Jul 2001 02:11:39 -0800hincandenza
